The Venice Arsenal : Between History, Heritage, and Re-use
This book reviews four decades of debate about restoring an industrial heritage site of inestimable value – the Venice Arsenal.Focusing on the challenges of economic, financial and institutional feasibility, it reveals how failing to address these aspects has undermined potential solutions from both technicians and heritage professionals. With a deep connection to the city over centuries, the Arsenal was the very basis of La Serenissima’s sea power, enabling its economic expansion.Later, it maintained a vital military function through shipbuilding until World War II.But the slow process of abandonment of the traditional site’s uses and spaces continues to pose questions regarding its preservation and re-use.Drawing on original research from urban planners, architects and historians, the book provides a critical investigation into the organizational and managerial challenges of this unique site, and crucially, why so little has been achieved compared with potential opportunities. Featuring numerous color photographs and exploring the particular challenges of restoration and re-use facing the Venice Arsenal, this insightful evaluation of the history of this site provides a uniquely informative case for the discipline of industrial heritage.

Authenticity in North America : Place, Tourism, Heritage, Culture and the Popular Imagination
This interdisciplinary book addresses the highly relevant debates about authenticity in North America, providing a contemporary re-examination of American culture, tourism and commodification of place.Blending social sciences and humanities research skills, it formulates an examination of the geography of authenticity in North America, and brings together studies of both rurality and urbanity across the country, exposing the many commonalities of these different landscapes.Relph stated that nostalgic places are inauthentic, yet within this work several chapters explore how festivals and visitor attractions, which cultivate place heritage appeal, are authenticated by tourists and communities, creating a shared sense of belonging.In a world of hyperreal simulacra, post-truth and fake news, this book bucks the trend by demonstrating that authenticity can be found everywhere: in a mouthful of food, in a few bars of a Beach Boys song, in a statue of a troll, in a diffuse magical atmosphere, in the weirdness of the ungentrified streets.Written by a range of leading experts, this book offers a contemporary view of American authenticity, tourism, identity and culture.It will be of great interest to upper-level students, researchers and academics in Tourism, Geography, History, Cultural Studies, American Studies and Film Studies.

How can one forget culture and heritage?
One can forget culture and heritage by not actively engaging with it, by being disconnected from one's roots and community, and by prioritizing other aspects of life over preserving and celebrating one's cultural identity. This can happen through assimilation into a different culture, lack of exposure to one's own cultural traditions and practices, and a lack of interest in learning about one's heritage. Additionally, societal pressures and discrimination can also contribute to the erasure of one's culture and heritage.

Examples of IT security include implementing firewalls, antivirus software, and intrusion detection systems to protect networks and systems from cyber threats. Information security measures may include encrypting sensitive data, implementing access controls, and conducting regular security audits to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Both IT security and information security are essential to safeguarding an organization's digital assets and preventing unauthorized access or data breaches.

'Security or Freedom?'
The balance between security and freedom is a complex and delicate one. While security is essential for protecting individuals and society from harm, excessive security measures can encroach on personal freedoms. Conversely, too much freedom without adequate security measures can lead to chaos and endanger the well-being of individuals and society. Finding the right balance between security and freedom is crucial for maintaining a stable and just society. It requires thoughtful consideration of the potential risks and benefits of security measures, as well as a commitment to upholding fundamental human rights and freedoms.

Consuming History : Historians and Heritage in Contemporary Popular Culture
Consuming History examines how history works in contemporary popular culture.Analysing a wide range of cultural entities from computer games to daytime television, it investigates the ways in which society consumes history and how a reading of this consumption can help us understand popular culture and issues of representation. In this second edition, Jerome de Groot probes how museums have responded to the heritage debate and how new technologies from online game-playing to internet genealogy have brought about a shift in access to history, discussing the often conflicted relationship between ‘public’ and academic history and raising important questions about the theory and practice of history as a discipline.Fully revised throughout with up-to-date examples from sources such as Wolf Hall, Game of Thrones and 12 Years a Slave, this edition also includes new sections on the historical novel, gaming, social media and genealogy.It considers new, ground-breaking texts and media such as YouTube in addition to entities and practices, such as re-enactment, that have been underrepresented in historical discussion thus far. Engaging with a broad spectrum of source material and comparing the experiences of the UK, the USA, France and Germany as well as exploring more global trends, Consuming History offers an essential path through the debates for readers interested in history, cultural studies and the media.

What is the difference between IT security and information security?
IT security and information security are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between the two. IT security primarily focuses on protecting the digital infrastructure, networks, and systems from unauthorized access, cyber threats, and data breaches. On the other hand, information security encompasses a broader scope, including the protection of all forms of sensitive and valuable information, whether it is in digital or physical form. Information security also involves safeguarding data privacy, compliance with regulations, and managing risks associated with the storage and transmission of information. In summary, while IT security is a subset of information security, the latter encompasses a wider range of protective measures for all types of information assets.

What experiences have you had with security or airport security?
I have had several experiences with airport security while traveling. I have gone through the standard security screening process, including removing my shoes, belt, and electronics, and placing them in the bins for X-ray scanning.

Overall, I have found airport security to be a necessary inconvenience in order to ensure the safety of all passengers.

What is the difference between IT security, information security, and cybersecurity?
IT security, information security, and cybersecurity are often used interchangeably, but they have subtle differences. IT security focuses on protecting the technology infrastructure of an organization, such as networks, servers, and devices. Information security, on the other hand, is a broader term that encompasses the protection of all forms of information, including physical and digital data. Cybersecurity specifically deals with protecting digital information from cyber threats, such as hacking, malware, and phishing attacks. In summary, IT security is a subset of information security, and cybersecurity is a specialized field within information security that focuses on digital threats.
